Christ, it went for $960 (about ?520 or ?785)! Do they always sell that steep? And a DJ issue at that...

I looked for this for several years, I've never seen a copy at any price anywhere.
I was thinking I would bid up to $200 or so :( - I'm selling a guitar amp this week which would probably have covered it....

But the Dickwick boot sounds good, so I 'm happy with that, I guess.

Anyone else ever seen one? Alfredo?

There is no stock copy for this record, no one has surfaced at least!
On VU singles it is true that DJ copies are much easier to find than stock labels, but on the LP´s DJ copies for the banana & wl/wh for instance are more expensive by far.

From top of my head I remember one of those "ostrich" sold on the very early days of ebay.
